Frequently Asked Questions

  • I see individuals and couples for weekly therapy in my office in the Toluca Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles, and virtually throughout California.

  • Yup! I provide therapy to individual adults and couples virtually throughout California.

  • I work collaboratively with clients based on their own needs and goals using a psychodynamic approach. That just means we will explore how some of the early relationship dynamics in your life are showing up today.

  • I’m warm, honest, and straightforward. And I talk—I’m not a therapist who just sits and nods while you speak. It’ll feel like a dialogue. Sometimes therapy can be really tough. It’s not always a fun experience talking about difficult things, but I always approach therapy with humor and directness.

  • Yes. Having worked in the entertainment industry myself in my previous career, I see a lot of people who work in or adjacent to the entertainment industry. This means creative types like musicians, songwriters, actors, writers, directors, producers, and executives. I also see a lot of clients who are in the LGBTQ+ community, and I see many couples.

  • Ideally, for therapy to be effective, we meet weekly, and in some cases, we meet more frequently. Of course, that’s not always possible for a variety of reasons. We will work together to figure out the frequency that is best for you.

  • My session fee for individual adults and teens/preteens is $160 per 50 min session, and $200 for couples per 50 min session.

  • Simply put, no.

    Frustrating as that may be, but that’s because insurance providers typically have restrictive policies for mental health care that often don’t align with the needs and goals of you, the client.

    While I don’t take insurance directly, I will provide you with a monthly Superbill that you can use to submit to your health insurance provider for Out of Network benefits you may have.

  • Yes. I have a select number of sliding scale slots for people who are experiencing financial hardship, and cannot afford a full session rate. Please just ask, I’m happy to accommodate if I have slots available.

  • Reach out through the contact form, or call/email/text me, and we can setup a time for a free 20 minute phone call to see if we are a good fit.
